Lonely Planet review for McCormick Place

Called ‘the Mistake on the Lake’ before the Soldier Field renovation stole the title, the McCormick Place convention center is an economic engine that drives up profits for the city’s hotels, restaurants, shops and airlines. ‘Vast’ isn’t big enough to describe it, nor ‘huge,’ and ‘enormous’ doesn’t work, so settle for whatever word describes the biggest thing you’ve ever seen. The 2.7 million sq ft of meeting space spreads out over four halls, making this the largest convention center in the country.
